A motley crew of GoodGymers headed over to the Sneinton Primary School allotment for another morning of renovations.
Most of the team headed up to the top of the plot where we've previously cleared bushes and bricks and created a dead hedge by weaving bamboo sticks Kathryn had brought along. We then moved loads of dead branches and brambles over to make the "hedge" itself. Hopefully the frogs we saw hopping around will move in over the next few days. Kathryn explained the benefit of this kind of boundary lies in the fact that you've always got somewhere to put trimmings as it slowly rots away, and that it creates a habitat for wildlife.
While this was going on, Rachel weeded some of the children's flowerbeds and Tom pulled out some very deeply rooted brambles. Oliver did some strimming and Natalie got heartily stuck in to moving bricks around to create some borders around the fruit trees.
Some of the team even decided to stay on a bit past 12 to finish the job!
Thanks again to all who came, as Kathryn said, "you guys are legends"! Apologies that I forgot to grab the group pic from Kathryn, I'll upload it once I get it!

After a last-minute cancellation last week (thanks, circus!) we regrouped at Forest Rec to give the park another blitz.
Probably a good thing we waited, actually, as the grass and hedges were full of ice cream sticks, cups and sweet wrappers left over from the event. It did make a nice change to have our bags smelling like a Haribo factory rather than a very stale brewery though!
Find of the night went to Nigel for his inflatable alien (sadly punctured and destined for the bag. RIP, friend). Leah also found Forest Rec Parkrun's bell sign and was thinking of holding it hostage in exchange for new members until everyone else pointed out that they've more than likely printed a new one by now.
We'll be back with the Clean Champions on Earth Day (22 April), park TBC, so watch this space!

A whole bunch of GoodGymers (including Tracy on her first task!) headed back to Sneinton to help our friend Kathryn with another big job.
This time, we sanded down some of the railings at Lees Hill Park and painted them a very bright and shiny blue.
As the paint was oil-based, we set our smallest GGers to litter picking and sweeping up all the old leaves that had gathered around, in between bursts on the playground, of course.
As always, Kathryn provided some delicious, very well-earned sweet treats and some hot drinks!

GoodGym Nottingham headed to the Lindum Grove Community Garden with the lovely Kathryn where we helped with some weeding, composting the beds, making a vegetable bed, moving some daffodils and tulips, cutting some of the grassy edges and moving/emptying several bags of top soil. Another job well done!
